Perfect location in Tromso on harbour front. Bus stop for Airport Express immediately outside. Many tour groups have pick up at hotel or within 5kin walking distance. Most sights easily walkable
Buffet breakfast is very generous, wide variety including tasty local food.

The breakfast buffet was delicious. Dinner at roast was the best, super convenient to have dinner in the hotel after a long day of exploring. The hotel is super centralized and walkable around the city, even in the cold climates. Highly recommend for couples or families.
